The Hidden Costs of Legacy IT
Aging infrastructure might seem stable, but it's often:
- Incompatible with modern security tools
- Lacking support for key CMMC practices like audit logging or data segmentation
- Unable to enforce consistent policies across devices and users
These gaps create vulnerabilities that auditors won’t overlook.
Compliance Requires More Than Patching
Trying to retrofit compliance into legacy environments usually leads to patchwork solutions that:
- Increase complexity
- Are hard to document and maintain
- Fail to meet evolving standards like those in CMMC 2.0
Modern environments, in contrast, allow for streamlined controls, automated policy enforcement, and improved visibility—essentials for passing a CMMC audit.
Make GCC High Part of the Plan
For contractors handling Controlled Unclassified Information (CUI), modernizing with GCC High migration services offers a path forward. GCC High provides a secure, compliant foundation built for defense-focused workloads. It helps eliminate legacy friction while aligning with requirements under DFARS, NIST SP 800-171, and ITAR.
CMMC success depends on readiness—and legacy IT is rarely ready. Investing in a secure, modern platform isn’t just good practice—it’s necessary for compliance, performance, and long-term growth in the defense space.
